They’re tiny (enough for a handbag), fast (Linux) and resilient (all-solid-state memory and storage). And unlike the beauty from Cupertino, their price tag matches their stature. Check out our hands-on video with the Everex Cloudbook and the Asus eeePC.

Joel Johnson writes over at Boing Boing Gadgets:

Should you buy the Sigma DP2? Only if you’re in love with the sensor. While it’s definitely a better choice than its predecessor and is not without its manual charms, its high price puts it in range of DSLRs and other cameras that come without as many limitations.
Looking through a glass viewfinder is such a treat, though—too bad it doesn’t seem to actually line up very well with the actual pictures.

Join the discussion on this video over at Boing Boing Gadgets, where Joel has also uploaded a slideshow of unretouched images from the DP2!

Crows are really smart. A guy taught one to find coins and deposit them into a machine, which would dispense a peanut.

When I breed a murder of crows that steal electronics (iPhones, digital cameras and PDAs) I’m going to get really rich, and it will only cost me peanuts and maybe a decade. Want to invest?

http://www.kevinnalts.com

SCRIPT: Crows are a nuisance, right? They root through garbage, and caw us from our slumber. But what if I could train the species- which top the avian IQ scale - to be my minions? I’d be rich, and you’ll see why.

You see recently while digging up an old brick path, I noticed that crows were hanging around my brick pile to gather the worms I made homeless.

Then I read in a recent O Magazine (look- Oprah with puppies) about a hacker named Joshua Klein who spent a decade studying crows, and discovered they’re highly intelligent and adept at making the human environment work in their favor. In Japan the black corvids drop tough nuts into traffic so cars crush them, then the genus wait for pedestrian lights to retrieve them.

Get this- Klein invented a wooden box and taught his crow to put a coin in the chute, as it would dispense a tasty peanut.

So what, you say? You don’t get it. He hopes his feathered friend will teach a murder of crows at a nearby dump to gather and deposit coins for him- imagine them as the hacker’s minions, collecting billions lost coins.

What? Nothing is impossible. Ask Edison. No he’s dead. Ask “The Raven” poet Edgar Allen Poe. Or reference, if you will, classical mythology, when a crow told the god Apollo that his lover Coronis was cheating on him with a mortal. Pigeons couldn’t do that.

My first plan was to have my minion crows carry advertisements for Nalts shirts and DVDs. But then I remembered that the medium is the message. You’d spend like lemmings with their first Visa card if the crow looked like Caitlin Hill. But crows are sadly on the wrong side of the snake-to-puppy continuum.

So plan B is in effect. I’m going to become the Dickinseon “Fagin” of rural Pennsylvanian crows. Charity’s fine, subscribe to mine. You’ve got to pick an iPhone or two.

Crows have learned to use tools, so they’ll be easily persuaded to collect mobile phones, PDAs and digital cameras (and remember it will cost me peanuts). Then I’ll breed giant crows, capable of retrieving laptops and even bricks of cash on route to ATMs. I’ll create a costume and become EVIL CAPTAIN CROW, and I’ll be unstoppable.

Nothing is impossible.

Blunty3000 joined forces with Toshiba to Give away a Portégé R600 to celebrate it being named the greenest notebook on the planet according to Greenpeace’s second annual Green Electronics Survey, 2008.

And now the announcement of the WINNER!

winning video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcREsIHEjhA

original video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRrjDIvR-Vs - check out all the fantastic entries!

Thank you so much to all of you who entered, and to Toshiba, this has been fun ^_^

Pretty frikkin sweet prize too… sure it’s the greenest, but it’s also the LIGHTEST fully featured Notebook out there. (fully featured means it has things most other manufacturers leave out of their ultra portables… like plenty of ports and Built-in Optical Drives)

http://www.toshibanotebooks.com.au

http://www.greenpeace.org/international/press/reports/green-electronics-survey-2

“a great choice for mobile professionals”
- pcauthority.com.au

“one of the best ultraportables on the market” - cnet.com.au

“The ultra- portable notebook is also ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant and features a LED backlit display, the latest CPUs, the option for a Solid State Drive (SSD) as a storage medium that results in low energy consumption and long battery life, further reducing its environmental impact.

Toshiba believes that when it comes to award-winning products that less is more. We minimise waste and use recycled materials wherever we can, while constantly looking for ways to reduce energy consumption, Mr Whittard general manager, Toshiba ISD ANZ, said.

Our own recycling programs keep discarded technology from fouling the soil and atmosphere, as does our devotion to worldwide environmental initiatives. Plus, we check to see that the people who make the materials that go into our products follow earth-friendly practices just as we do so we all can enjoy mobile computing amid a cleaner, more sustainable environment.

The life-cycle approach is good for life. One of our key objectives is to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their life-cycle. To do this, we ess every stage of the process, from procurement through to disposal.

In the interests of full disclosure, (and because I know I’ll be asked thanks to some other dodgy youtubers and their sneaky back-room deals who’re damaging all our reputations here) no, I wasn’t paid to pimp this competition, not a single cent…

so why do it? simply, I was asked if I’d like to help run it and I said yes, because the concept was fun, I get to give away a frikkin sweet laptop computer to one of my viewers, and also, many many years ago I owned an early Portégé model (back in the days of pentium III chips) and it was WAY ahead of it’s time, pretty much a “netbook” a good decade before we started calling them that, it was tiny, it weighed almost nothing, it was truly ultra portable, and I bloody loved it, great machine, never let me down.

So I’m a fan of what Toshiba do, with their dedication to making good gear, and now even more so with their strong commitment to environmental responsibility…. And hooray for me, Seems the folks in the Toshiba offices here in aussie-land have becomes fans of mine too, and were so pleased with the terrific response to the competition, they shoved a shiny new R600 into my hands as a thanks - it really is quite a nice machine too. (thank goodness, I’d hate to be giving away something shoddy heh) I’ll probably do a full review sometime soon when my to-do list is all caught up.
